Tomorrow is Ladies' Initiated in Baseball Day!
Keep it up guys. Where's Russdog?
I am not sure whose birthday is today, but on this father’s day we will recognize an individual and his family that is tried and true Lincoln Parish, Ruston and Louisiana Tech.
Born at Lincoln General Hospital and raised on Neal Street, he attended Ruston Elementary School before graduating from Ruston High School and Louisiana Tech University. Even cheering his Bulldogs while in graduate school at LSU.
A quiet lady born in a house at the intersection of Alabama and Everett, his mother retired from Louisiana Tech after working many years in the Library. Helping raise her younger sisters, she was never able to graduate college. Her last name is shared with a creek running north from Ruston, Colvin Creek. She is a founding member of Emanuel Baptist Church. Before learning the Louisiana Tech fight song, the last Saturday of football season you could find him cheering “Go Navy, Beat Army”. His father served in the pacific campaign during War-War II.
His aunts graduated Louisiana Tech in the 1940’s, one having citizens of Ruston pay her tuition (one also graduated High School from Tech when it also housed a 1-12 grade school) throughout. Upon registering for class, Harry Howard always told her that her tuition had already been paid – see below for reason.
His grandfather served as police chief for Ruston during the depression when one of his jobs was to go the train station and say no jobs as trains continued north to El Dorado. Passing away of pneumonia, he left his wife with four young girls. Raising 4 young girls as a widowed mother was only possible due to the generosity of the people of Ruston. The City of Ruston paid her the postage saved to deliver the water bills throughout the city (on foot); she also did the sowing for the Ruston Police Department. She is an original member of Temple Baptist Church.
His great-grandfather is the founder and namesake of Ruston, Robert E. Russ. He is also a decedent of George Lomax, who was a state representative that introduced the legislation creating Louisiana Tech.
A great father who taught me much about life and respecting people, he is known around Haughton Baptist Church for his involvement with youth leading many camping and canoeing trips. Life lessons he taught me and many other contribute greatly to our success. Eccentric, he has had many hobbies but none more than canoeing and triathlons. His latest adventure is mud runs.
His other passion is Louisiana Tech. You will always find him staying for the alma mater and going out to the sounds of the Band of Pride Saturdays during the fall no matter the score or weather. A face for over 40 years in section OO of the Joe, you will seldom find him in Independence Stadium. However, you have seen him waving the Tech blanket at every bulldog and Lady Techsters basketball game. Tech could use many fans like him.
You know him as Russdawg, I know him also as father.
A curse be on the Moderator that moved this thread and his family until this thread is moved back to the Blond Bomber Board!!!!!:furious3: Have you started to have any bad luck yet, Mr. MODERATOR???
I had "lost" the thread until this weekend and look forward to getting back to it Wednesday after a paddling trip in Arkansas. Thanks for asking.Quote:

Check the members help section.
Is it the moving away from prominence or the inability to look elsewhere that you are having a problem with?
Is it wrong to hope for another hacker?Quote:
